Dune, a book about addictive sand.

The series is quite enthralling, but I think the later, Mis-frank dune houses are better off not read. Then again, I'm only now on Dune Messiah.

Unless someone can convince me otherwise.

Oh, and something tells me the sandworms in beetlejuice were based off the makers.

Dune Rocks. Quite possibly one of my favorite Sci-Fi book series'. It ranks right up there with "ender's game" and "three to dorsai". You know, they made about three movies based on dune- the first one with sting and the guy who played captain picard was the best. Overall, I would definitely reccomend reading "children of Dune" and "god emperor of Dune".

Perhaps this could be a ZZT game? hmm?

There's an idea.

Oh, and in case the title looks familiar, I got the addictive sand thing from another user on z2 long, long ago. some post about favorite books.

DUNE ROCKS

Dune Messiah owns.

Children of Dune is the peak. From there on the books are set so far in the future of Dune you wonder why you care. It's a bit disapointing, but after reading the others, you'll get an idea of the scope of dune. Frank Herbert's style is entralling and captivating. His other books are excellent as well, like The Jesus Incident, and White Plauge. The problem with the Brian Herbert/Kevin Anderson books are that it's not Frank Herbert, there's no vision, it's just a story. I suggest reading the Dune Encylopediea if you want to fill in the gaps. It's far more interesting. There's something stylisticly that the newer books can't match.

None of you are allowed to do a Dune ZZT game, that prevents me from doing one.

Also giving David Lynch the largest budget in history and setting him loose makes for one crazy (read awesome) movie.

I almost started reading the Dune books but never worked up the energy to go to the library. I will though, I promise. I think.
